Cookie Problems on Localhost
|
|
| Joseph L. Mueller 2005-02-23, 8:56 am |
| I am testing some PHP code (example 15.5 from Sams Teach Yourself PHP
MySQL, PHP and apache in 24 Hours). I am running running PHP 5.0.3 and
Apache 2.0.43 on my WinXp Home system.
My problem is I cannot seem to set a cookie.
<?php
setcookie("vegetable", "artichoke", time()+3600, "/", "127.0.0.1", 0);
?>
I tried using "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" for the domain parameter, but
that does not seem to work. I have tried this with botn Mozilla 1.7.3
and Internet Explorer to no avail.
Any pointers would be welcome.
Thnaks in advance.

both 'localhost' and any ip are not accepted as valid domain-identifiers
in cookies (as per RFC). This simply means you're best off leaving them
empty.

That still leaves the problem of how to test cookies and sessions on a
local system.
